Mercedes-Benz C-Class review (31/05/14)

IT HAS without doubt been the single most important car in the Mercedes range down the years and it is now in Ireland in its very latest, and very impressive, guise.

The brand new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the fifth generation of a car first seen in 1992 replacing the legendary 190, is a model range that accounts for one in every five Mercedes cars sold.

Competing in the viciously competitive compact executive segment against such cars as the Audi A4 and the BMW 3 Series, the new C-Class needs to be a pretty sharp machine and from what we saw at this week’s launch, there are no indications it will be anything less.
